Details

Located in Austin, TX. $17,500
Willing to consider travelling to NM, CO, OK, AR, and northern CA to show the bass to anyone seriously interested.

I have had this bass for the last 8-9 years and it has served me really well for auditions and competitions. I originally bought it from Robertson and Sons Violin Shop in Albuquerque, NM. It was previously owned by Scott Pingel, the current principal of the San Francisco Symphony.

It is a very versatile bass and sounds great for both jazz and classical, as well as other genres. The string length is about 41.5". The shoulders were originally cello style shoulders, but at some point they were cut down, which makes the bass very playable.

Ask any questions you have. Thank you for looking!

I'll be posting pictures soon.

Bump for a sweet bass!

I had one of these basses for six years (shoulders uncut!) and it was a truly awesome sounding bass. Seeing the wood, stamps and scroll takes me back to a bass that I really miss having.:crying:
